Somewhere in the manuals list there's info on the bearings. Like Tim said, they're Timmeken bearings. The O'Reilly's and NAPA websites have a pretty good cross-referencing database for those parts and I bet some company used the same one on something else. For example, the dust seal on the 8n governor was used on Oldsmobiles in the early 80s, if I remember correctly.
If you can't find it at a parts store, you could get a machine shop to stamp it for you.
I'm restoring a 10-80, myself, at the moment. When I removed the castle nut from the bearing on the front disc, there really wasn't any damage. All that was needed was cleaning a repacking. Of course, when I greased that tail wheel bearing about two tablespoons of water shot out at me, but after cleaning off the grime from the dust cap I found several holes, so I'm hoping a good cleaning and new cap will solve the problem.
Let us know, though, if you find the part.
